meet Natalia…
Discovering her passion for art and design early on in life, Natalia was always finding ways to express herself artistically.

From that moment on, she decided to focus her energy on the goal of becoming a designer and an architect. After taking every course available related to architecture and completing the summer design program at Miami Dade College, she accepted an internship at a small architecture firm during her senior year of high school. She later attended the University of Florida where she received both her Bachelor of Design and Master of Architecture degrees. Her work was regularly lauded for its humanity and creativity by classmates and professors alike.

During her time in New York and while working for CookFox Architects, an award winning and sustainable minded firm, her passion for design and sustainability grew and flourished. There she worked on some of the most environmentally forward thinking projects in the country including their own offices, the first LEED Platinum Commercial Interior Office in New York City and One Bryant Park, first LEED Platinum Tower in the USA. She is an architect licensed in both Florida and New York and is a LEED BD+C accredited professional. She currently lives and practices in Miami and is a wife and mother.
